/ President; Taft has made it clear jâ€"that he will not: tolerate anything as silly as “hazing.” Recently lre pun- ished some of the army officials ful‘ “ordealing” those who had luterjoin- ed theranks. Students at: universi- ties and colleges are often treated roughly when entering these institu- tions of learning simply because it seems to bea custom handed down from posterity. If the heads of uni- vei'sia' and colleges would full.)w President; Tz'il'c‘s example, the sense- The people of Canada will ap- 1 preach the problems of the future as they apply to the Empire as a. whole with a greater degree of confidence than ever. Any scheme of Imperial defence in which Canada participates will be accepted with the knowledge v-that Canada is well able to assume her proper share of the burdens of'em‘ pire, knowing at the same time that the principles of perfect autonomy will never be varied by so much as a hair although loyalty to the mother land will grow as the years pass. A goodly number of our citizens favor the idea of §inking an artesian well in some high piece of groundâ€" say in the rear of the Public School yard. This will cost money, but we believe the Council would be justified in making the test. It is to be hoped we shall not wait for a serious fire to \make us in earnest; about a better supply of water. ' It was too early at the end of July to procure estimates of spring grains for the Maritime provinces; but for Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskat~ chewan and Alberta, with an area of 7,022,200 acres in spring wheat, the e-timated yield is 22.60 bushels per acre, which makes an aggregate of 158,762,000 bushels. Spring and fall wheat in the five provinces show a total of 174,314,000 bushels, grown on 7,684,300 acres. Last year the area in wheat in the same previnces was 6,541,900 acres and the estimated yield at the same date was 130,263,- 000 bushels, which was reduced by unfavorable weather in August. For, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta the estimated yield this year is 156,- 564,000 bushels. and last year at the same date it was 110,524,000 bushels. Fall wheat has done well in the parts of Ontario where it is chiefly g‘own; it was out; early and gather- ed in fine condition. Reports of th'reshings already made show aver- ages ranging from 20 to 35 bushels per acre,'nnd the estimated average for the province is bushels foran area of 581,100 acres in crop. A1- berta is the only other province growing a considerable quantity of fall wheat, and there fully one-third of the area sown was killed by the hard winter weather. The 81,0001 acres of crop harvested has an estiâ€" ‘ mated yield (£23.40 bushels per acre The Monthly reports that field crops are not uniformly good, but they de- note on the whole a very satisfactory cmdition for all parts of the Domin- ion. Timely rains at the end of June and frequent showers throughout; J u- ly proved to be very helpful, and there are only a few localities where all crops are under an average. The Statistics Monthly for August published by the authority of the Minister of Agriculture for the Do- minion gives valuable information relative to the crops up to the 3lst of July. Storms of rain and hail visited the locality of Winnipeg and some other parts of the West about the 5th of August, and did considerable dam- age, but the extent covered is not nearly as great as was first reported. RICHMOND HILL. ONT.. SEPT. 2. 1909 433112 {flihcmL FIELD CROPS. l l ' A couple of weeks ago two jews i were up before a magistrate in Wes- i (ton, charged with pointing a loaded . revolver at some of the citizens. It {transpired in evidence that some of ithe citizens had been teasing the 5Jews us they were quietly driving .their loails of‘ rugs, ‘hottles, &0, through the village, and that the latter in a fit of temper drew their‘ revolvers. By doing so thev renâ€" dered themselves liable to punishâ€" ment. They shouid be punished for carrying fireâ€"arms contrary to law. At the same time those who were the first cause of the trouble should l’lnt be considered blameless. A favorite j)ke r?) in other villages than Wes- ton seems to be to shout ‘ whoa” in I chorus at the Jews’ horses, anl tol tease the strangers who are ainoy- ing no person. The annoying of strangers or foreigners is certainly not a sign of good. breeding. Rev. Dr. Gilray, pastor of College ‘ St. Presbyterian Church, in the course of his sermon Sunday morning, did well in expressing his approval of'the stand taken by the Globe in condemn- ing race track gambling. He was quite within his rights in referring to the fact that “car-loads of men and women come over from Rochester and other American cities and gamble here, and lead thousands of young men and young women into deadly sin and wickedness.” But is all the blame to be cast upon the shoulders of our Southern neighI-ors ? Are Canadians altogether blameless? We imaginethat Dr. Gilray might con- scientiously have administered a. gentle rebuke to at least one in two; citizens of his own city. ‘ A few daystago a petition was drawn up‘ the object being. if sufr fieiently signed, to present it to the Village Council and ask that body to take steps to allay the dust nuisance on Yonge Street by the application of road oil. Those who signed the pet- ition agreed to meet the expense by means of a frontage tax. rI‘hose who circulated the petition were surprised to find that a number of’ rate-payers, ~ineluding some people in businessâ€"â€" refused to sign the petition. We imagine, therefore, that the Council will not press the matter further along the above lines. Everybody seems prepared to admit that clouds of dust ‘ blowing into stores and homes is t i nuisance, but everybody is not pro-l pared to assist in meeting the expense of removing the nuisance. Those who hoped to make it unannnous were mistaken. Now that the purchasing commit- tee of the Public Library are prepar-' :ing for their yearly supply of books, we would urge them to be cautious in making their selections. Many of the popular novels published in recent years are indecent and unclean, and, sad to say, they are among the best sellers. It is proper to make sugges- tions about the purchase of books,‘ but the aim of the committee should be not to place on the shelves what the people want, but the books that peo- ple should read. If more pel-ple would cultivate a taste for history and biography, and avoid those books which treat so lightly of unfaithful' ness and the marriage vow, it would be much better for the 111012118 of the rising generation. The farmers have particular cause to be grateful to the Government. Agriculture is the'great industry of Canada, and is chiefly responsible: i for the enviable position the Domin~ ion occupies in the eyes of the world ‘ to-day. This position has been atâ€" rtained largely by the production of articles on the farm, such as meats, live stock products, grain and fruit, ‘ l all of which are in constant demand :by the markets of the Old World. One of the essentials demanded by these markets is quality, and it is an encouraging circumstance that the Minister of Agriculture has taken steps to 'influence not only increased production on farms, ranches and orchards, but better quality of all products as a result of which policy, the demand for Canadian farm pro‘ ducts is on the increase. less habit. of hazing would cease, and the “freshmen” would not be treated with somuch indignity.
